Is Prop 57 A ​Mistake?

"Both arguments are convincing, but it’s up to you to decide."​-Enrique

Our podcast

Opponents of Proposition 57 are afraid that it may provide early release hearings to inmates convicted of crimes including rape and human trafficking.

What's going on here? Is this a mistake? We are finding out the truth..

What is prop 57 ?

​Prop 57 gives inmates with nonviolent crimes a chance for parole, but it isn't guaranteed they will get out. 57 also changes who decides whether to try juveniles as adults or juveniles, because currently prosecutors make that decision and it isn't too fair to say the least. So if 57 passes judges would make the decision making it more fair.

Process

The process we went through to create our podcast was first off research out topic which was 57, that included finding people to interview, find out what problems and benefits of 57 and other small things. After we had good amount of information and people to interview, we started booking interviews. The first one we had was with William, he was a part of the No on 57 campaign, we thought he had very valid points and gave us good information.

​Once we had a plan for what we wanted our interview to look like and some interview clips we started to script it out. Our script had some parts where we had to narrate as well so we started recording those and put them into Audacity. From there we would listen and add on or take out parts trying to make it sound better every time. Finally we came up with our final podcast and you can listen to it above, overall it was a very unique experience and had it's challenges along the way, but we had something to be proud of at the end.
